Hi! Just a quick update. I have been panicking over nothing. While i have noticed that cereals that shreddies or shredded wheat do cause blood glucose spikes this time around it was my own fault for not checking the ingredients in the ASDA own brand sucralose sweeteners. The first ingredient in...

I am really hoping that this might be the culprit. My sweetener packet from my shopping delivery that I've been using the past few weeks.. I feel very stupid if this is the reason for my sugar levels recently. ‍♀️‍♀️‍♀️

I checked it again at 13:37 and it has come back down to 13.7 and I can only assume it's going to lower further. I'll attempt to change my ratio in the morning and see if that changes. Do you know if ready brek is okay for a porridge because that sent my sugar levels through the roof before? If...

Hello. Wondering if anyone can shed some insight for me with my type 1 diabetes. Recently, I've noticed that after breakfast my sugar levels have been spiking, this doesn't matter whether its 5am on the weekends before work or 9/10am during the week when im not at work. I won't fill in on all...

Okay so. I just want to post this for people’s opinions. Recently I’ve been approached by some supervisors at work who have told me that a member of staff has approached them and said that me doing my injections for my type 1 in front of them in the staff room makes them feel uncomfortable. I...

Um answers to the hypo question was yes I've had more than 2 in six months but i haven't needed help for them. I rang them because the whole thing was making me worry and they said they've received my forms and the declaration and they're just waiting for the medical department to review it and...

So my doctor does not need to authorise this and I don't have to wait for my licence to come through before i start driving?

Hi. Passed my driving test on 6th November. My provisional licence was sent by the examiner and I rang the DVLA the same day to check if my type 1 diabetes was on their record from when i applied for my provisional in February 2015, my diabetes was not recorded so I got sent some forms that I...
